Re: [meteorite-list] The Missing Word
OK, Didn't say I believed it, just that it was reported. You'll note the software in question is derived from software that allows disabled people to communicate through computers using their nerve impulses. Maybe Neil's nerves said it, but his mouth didn't? Armstrong says he finds the study persuasive. Still touchy after all these years. In one of your references there is mention of the reporters listening to the raw feed and not being able to tell if the a was there or not. I have a recording of the raw feed released by Life magazine only a week after they made it back. I just went and listened to it about six times (first time in decades). It does not sound much like the two official sound samples linked in those articles, which have obviously been smoothed and filtered, scrubbed, as it were, with a strong but uniform background hum. The raw feed has much irregular noise, although the timing of the words seems to be the same. Not to go all conspiracy theory on you -- I don't think it matters. Afterall, if the important thing about the first landing on the Moon was nailing your lines, we'd have sent Orson Welles, right? Or at least Charlton Heston... Maybe nailing the landing was more important, particularly since their predetermined flight path was heading them straight into a 100-meter crater filled with rubble and surrounded by car-sized boulders, so that, against all expectation, Armstrong had to go manual and cruise around looking for the only 50-meter flat spot in the area... Which he found and parked in, within 20 seconds (or less) of fuel from the abort limit. Asked about that, he reportedly said, Twenty seconds is a long time. How about this? I recommend that when the first man sets foot on Mars, he carries an iPod with his well-rehearsed and pre-recorded foot-down sentence, so that all he has to do is touch the button that feeds the quote directly into his spacesuit's radio input: That's one small step for a man, another giant leap for mankind. Too late to get Charlton Heston to do it... Sterling K.

[meteorite-list] NASA's New Mars Camera Gives Dramatic View of Planet (MRO)
http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2006-117 Media contacts: Guy Webster 818-354-6278 Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. Lori Stiles 520-626-4402 University of Arizona, Tucson NASA's New Mars Camera Gives Dramatic View of Planet September 29, 2006 Mars is ready for its close-up. The highest-resolution camera ever to orbit Mars is returning low-altitude images to Earth from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Rocks and surface features as small as armchairs are revealed in the first image from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter since the spacecraft maneuvered into its final, low-altitude orbital path. The imaging of the red planet at this resolution heralds a new era in Mars exploration. The image of a small fraction of Mars' biggest canyon reached Earth on Friday, the beginning of a week of tests for the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment and other instruments on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. We are elated at the sharpness of the image, revealing such fine detail in the landscape, said Dr. Alfred McEwen of the University of Arizona, Tucson, who is the principal investigator for this camera. The target area includes the deepest part of Ius Chasma, one portion of the vast Valles Marineris canyon. Valles Marineris is the largest known canyon in the solar system, as long as the distance from California to New York. The image is available online at http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/MRO/multimedia/mro-20060929a.html and http://hiroc.lpl.arizona.edu/images/TRA/TRA_000823_1720/ . The camera returned test images after Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter went into orbit around Mars on March 10, 2006, but those were from altitudes more than eight times as high as the orbiter is flying now. Since March, the spacecraft has shrunk its orbit by dipping more than 400 times into the top of the Martian atmosphere to shave velocity. It is now flying in its final, nearly circular orbit at altitudes of 250 to 316 kilometers (155 to 196 miles). The orbit will remain this shape and size for the mission's two-year primary science phase, which begins in November. During its primary science phase, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter will return more data about the red planet than all previous missions combined, pouring data to Earth at about 10 times the rate of any earlier Mars spacecraft. Scientists will analyze the information to gain a better understanding of the distribution and history of Mars' water -- whether ice, vapor or liquid -- and of the processes that formed and modified the planet's surface. In addition to the high-resolution camera, the orbiter's science payload includes a mineral-identifying spectrometer, a ground-penetrating radar, a context camera for imaging wide swaths of the surface, a wide-angle color imager for monitoring the entire planet daily, and an instrument for mapping and monitoring water vapor and other constituents in the atmosphere. For most of October, Mars will be passing nearly behind the sun from Earth's perspective. Communication will be intermittent. Activities will be minimal for Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and other spacecraft at Mars during this time, and they will resume in early November. Information about the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is online at http://www.nasa.gov/mro. The mission is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver, is the prime contractor and built the spacecraft. The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment is operated by the University of Arizona and the instrument was built by Ball Aerospace and Technology Corp., Boulder, Colo. __ Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] Mars Exploration Rovers Update - September 29, 2006
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status.html SPIRIT UPDATE: Solar Power Is on the Rise as Spirit 'Follows the Water' - sol 970-976, September 29, 2006: Solar power levels on Spirit are slowly beginning to rise again following a winter low of 275 watt-hours on Martian day, or sol, 933 (Aug. 18, 2006). One hundred watt-hours is the amount of electricity needed to light one 100-watt bulb for one hour. This week, the rover's power levels rose to about 296 watt-hours. Spirit spent much of the week analyzing atmospheric dust attracted to magnets on the spacecraft. The rover identifies iron minerals in the dust using the Moessbauer spectrometer. One of the two magnets, the filter magnet, is weaker than the capture magnet, allowing scientists to separate mineral grains that have the highest magnetic susceptibility, particularly minerals that contain iron. During the week, Spirit studied rock targets known as Juan Carlos, Gueslaga, and Tor using the miniature thermal emission spectrometer. Juan Carlos and Tor are vesicular rocks filled with tiny holes that formed during the cooling of a froth of magma and gas. Scientists hope to determine whether these rocks are similar to or different from nearby smooth-textured volcanic rocks known as basalts. Gueslaga, meanwhile, is an entirely different kind of rock known as an exotic, meaning it came from somewhere else and may have been emplaced during an impact event. Spirit continued to make scientific observations of the soil target known as Tyrone. Tyrone is a patch of bright material, white and yellow in color, that is possibly analogous to salty soils examined earlier in the mission known as Arad and Paso Robles. Spirit's dragging right front wheel churned up the bright material on the rover's 784th sol of exploration of Mars (March 18, 2006). Some science team members have speculated that some component in this material is hydrated. If moisture enters or leaves the material, the miniature thermal emission spectrometer would be able to detect it. Scientists are also monitoring the soil with the rover's panoramic camera for any color changes, because variability in water content could affect the color. These observations are ongoing to account for seasonal variability. The rover continues to operate successfully with the new flight software package. Sol-by-sol summaries: Sol 970 (Sept. 25, 2006): Spirit measured atmospheric opacity using the panoramic camera, surveyed the sky and ground with the miniature thermal emission spectrometer, analyzed dust on the filter magnet with the Moessbauer spectrometer, acquired morning images of the spacecraft deck with the panoramic camera, and scanned the sky for clouds with the navigation camera. Sol 971: Spirit measured atmospheric opacity using the panoramic camera, surveyed the sky and ground with the miniature thermal emission spectrometer, collected data from the rock target known as Juan Carlos, and surveyed the horizon using the panoramic camera. Sol 972: Spirit measured atmospheric opacity using the panoramic camera, surveyed the sky and ground with the miniature thermal emission spectrometer, restarted integration of data from the filter magnets with the Moessbauer spectrometer, acquired panoramic camera images of the work volume accessible by the robotic arm, and measured morning sky brightness in the west with the panoramic camera. Sol 973: Spirit measured atmospheric opacity using the panoramic camera, surveyed the sky and ground with the miniature thermal emission spectrometer, studied the rock targets Gueslaga and Tor using the miniature thermal emission spectrometer, and used the panoramic camera to take images of rover tracks and measure morning sky brightness in the west. Sol 974: Plans called for Spirit to measure atmospheric opacity using the panoramic camera, survey the sky and ground with the miniature thermal emission spectrometer, restart integration of data from the filter magnets with the Moessbauer spectrometer, survey the sky and ground with the miniature thermal emission spectrometer, scan the sky for clouds, measure morning sky brightness, and take a morning measurement of dust on the panoramic camera mast assembly with the miniature thermal emission spectrometer. Sol 975: Plans called for Spirit to measure atmospheric opacity using the panoramic camera, survey the sky and ground with the miniature thermal emission spectrometer, and acquire morning images of the rover's tracks with all 13 filters of the panoramic camera. Sol 976 (Oct. 1, 2006): Plans called for Spirit to measure atmospheric opacity using the panoramic camera, survey the sky and ground using the miniature thermal emission spectrometer, continue analysis of dust on the filter magnets with the Moessbauer spectrometer, and complete a morning sky survey with the panoramic camera. Odometry: As of sol 973 (Sept. 28, 2006), Spirit's total odometry remained at 6,876.18 meters (4.27 miles).

Large portions of this Trojan moon of Dione appear to have been blasted away by impacts. Cassini passed within 50,000 kilometers (31,000 miles) of Helene (32 kilometers, or 20 miles across) when these images were acquired. The views were obtained over the course of an hour, and are presented here in reverse order (i.e., the leftmost image was taken latest). The images were taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera. As presented here, the views were acquired at distances ranging from 62,000 to 51,000 kilometers (39,000 to 32,000 miles) from Helene and at a Sun-Helene-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 111 to 120 degrees. Image scale is 375 to 300 meters (1,230 to 984 feet) per pixel, from left to right.

RE: [meteorite-list] 73P in 2022?
Hi Ed, Finally getting back to you on the subject of 73P's return at the end of May in 2022. Aside from the recent bolides, and the several hundred pound TNT equivalent hit at Troms, Norway, there appear to have been hits by large SW3 fragments at Rio Curaca, Brazil, 1930, 10 August, and Rupununi, British Guiana 1935, 11 December. I haven't researched the 1930 or 1935 possibilities you mention above, but the connection between the Troms, Norway event and 73P has some problems. That Norway bolide occurred at ~2:05am local time on June 7th (~12:05am GMT). Earth was not near any of the nodal crossing points in 2006: see figure 5 on page 6 of the following PDF link (which is page 643) and note that earth's closest approach to any meteoroids ejected from SW3 in prior years (going back to 1801) was on May 31 at a distance of at least 0.04 a.u. (~3.7 million miles): http://aquarid.physics.uwo.ca/%7Epbrown/taus.pdf By June 7th, the distance was more than double that. I will concede that at least the tau Herculid radiant was high in the southwest at the time of the bolide -- in the vicinity of delta Bootis (which was more than 50 degrees above azimuth 240 degrees). This location is in roughly the same quadrant of the sky from which the Troms bolide appears to have come. The 2022 nodal crossing looks much more promising for a minor meteor shower (though nothing spectacular according to P.A. Wiegert). Keep in mind that we're talking about comet dust here -- not meteoroids. Other than whatever large SW3 fragments following the 2006 breakup still remain in 2022, I would expect its dust cloud to be about as survivable as that of any other short-period comet: i.e. not very. (Aren't too many samples of Swift-Tuttle, Temple-Tuttle, Halley or 3200 Phaethon in our meteorite collections!)
